Directions
Crack an egg into a microwave-safe bowl. Pour in 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons of milk, then add the oats, raisins, brown sugar, vanilla extract, butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir until it’s well combined. Pop the bowl into the microwave and cook on high for one minute. Take it out, give it a quick stir, then microwave for another minute. Stir again and cook for about one more minute, or until the oatmeal is fully cooked and thickened to your liking. Let it cool slightly before digging in!
